Thanks tristan.

In this case I wasn't telling her that she was hurting the kids to make her feel guilty. That was wayyy in the beginning of all this.

This time I was telling her so that she would hopefully talk to them about it or at the very least let them hear that she wasn't going to leave their lives. Her mom and dad split when she was 6 and the dad took off without coming back. Till this day, she's had resentment for his being the one to leave and even now when he's dead, she refuses to visit his grave.

I told her I didn't want the girls to react to her the same way. Whether or not she listened, who knows? I know they ain't gonna resent me. : )

I've been out for awhile. I'll try catching up on your sitch.
